Disquiet is rumoured to have descended over Gadens‘ PR and senior management in recent days over the way the firm, through its departing Chief Operations Officer, has responded to claims that secret-sackings had occurred.
At first instance, the firm line was that there had been some ‘comings and goings’, but this later matured to a more encouraging line that the firm was ‘hiring, not firing’.
The more recent comments were made by Chief Operating Officer Jon Denovan who, in the same article, was also at pains to identify that:
- he is leaving Gadens; and
- he wants a job in radio.
A Gadens spy had the following points to make about Denovan’s article:
…his comments will make the inevitable pay freeze look like a ridiculous ploy to increase partner yields, when I think the reality is that our work flows and revenue has decreased along with all the other major law firms.
Do you think it is appropriate for high-profile lawyers to use the media to spell out their imminent availability to future employers?
